Tripped at the Finish Line

I'm very aggravated right now. It's now nearly midnight and I've only been home for maybe 20 mins. My shift was supposed to end at 11pm so I should have been home by 11:15 at the latest depending on traffic lights. Not so tonight. These two bitches delayed my departure a good 15-20 mins. Why they insisted on doing their shopping in the few moments before the store closed is beyond me, and what's worse is they EACH had like 4 or 5 WIC orders.

Now for those of you who have no idea what WIC is it's a program NY has to help out women with children (WIC = women, infants & children). Basically they have these prewritten checks that they can use for specific food items. They are a pain in the butt normally since each check has to be processed as it's own order and every item must be exactly what the system allows or it won't accept it. So here I am 3 mins before 11 thinking soon I'll get to go home and crash. Been running on high for a few days now with triple back to back shifts so I'm beat, but NOOOOOO, I have to deal with these two yahoos. My shift leader was just as thrilled as I was. Apparently our announcements that we were closing didn't matter to them cuz they didn't even get to the registers until 2 mins after 11. That's when I saw the checks and groaned. These two ree-ree's didn't even have half the right stuff for their orders. We overrode a lot of stuff just to get them the fuck outta the store so we could go home. It was ridiculous. Oooooh I'm still so freaking pissed about it. Granted I got paid for the time I was there but seriously it's not a secret that WIC checks are a pain in the ass so why would you ever try to do that kind of shopping right before the store closes?! As hard as I tried not to give them dirty looks I'm sure I did and I don't give a fuck. Fire me! I don't care that was B.S. that we dealt with and I'm sure we'll get spoken to for over riding so much stuff but they can just eat me!

Doesn't help my case that I'm wired on coffee. I was practically falling asleep when I got to work so on my break at 9 I bought a small coffee knowing it would keep me up later than I wanted but I just couldn't stop yawning. Something had to be done. Now not only am I wired on caffeine but I'm still worked up about those two hoochies! God! It just pisses me off how inconsiderate these two were. They didn't even say the obligatory "sorry for keeping you so late" like other last minute shoppers do as if that makes up for not hearing the announcements that we'll be closing in 15, 10, and 5 mins and the we're now closed announcement followed by 1/3 of the lights shutting off. Fucking bitches. I hope their Baby Daddy's smack them around, might knock some sense into them. Well...ok...maybe that was going too far but Jesus Effin' Christ have a little consideration. Just cuz you got the checks doesn't mean you're entitled to ignore the rules of common sense and decency. Those two probably wouldn't even know the meaning of those two words, too many syllables for them. Stupid hoes.
